The opening riff is kinda like:

E - | ---------------------
B - | ---------------------
G - | ---------------------
D - | ---------------------
A - | --------7-5-7-5------
E - | ---5-5----------7----  Repeated 8 times.

Then it goes into an A B E progression.  1 bar A, 1 bar B, two bars E.
I play it kind of ska-like because I can't quite get the
chunk-a-chunka rhythm from the record. Play the progression twice
and then over the verses.

A             B               C
    The place I love is a million miles away.
A            B                     C
    It's too far for the eye to see.
Bm            E          A                 F#m
    Still it's me at least,   and you can't come there.
A           B             C    
    No one is allowed at all.
Bm        E                       A         F#m
    Only animals that love, will   always, only ever could be.
A               B                        E
    And  it's always in the back of my mind.

A               B                  E
    The place I love is overgrown now,
A                  B                 E
    with beautiful moss and colorful flowers.
Bm               E             A         F#m   
    And goldfish that swim in a pool,   theres a small brick wall
A                B                    E
    With neon lightings controlled by lightning.
Bm                E                    
    I'm makin' a stand against the world     
A                             F#m
    There's those that would hurt us if they heard.
A             B                        E
    And it's always in the back of my mind.

A                B                   E
    The place I love is nowhere near here.
A                B                   E
    Not within a yard of the trendy do's
Bm                    E           A         F#m
    Where dogsbodies pick you up,    and graciously give you a lift
A                    B                 E
    with cherished thoughts and bitterness.
Bm                 E               
    I'm makin' a stand against the world   
A                             F#m
    There's those that would hurt us if they heard.
A             B                        E
    And it's always in the back of my mind.
